[PATCH v4 3/6] drm/msm/dpu: check mode against PINGPONG or DSC max width

From: Mahadevan P

Date: Thu Oct 08 2026 - 13:25:46 EST


From: Jessica Zhang <jesszhan0024@xxxxxxxxx>

LM block doesn't have a hardware buffer (unlike PINGPONG and DSC
encoders). As such, don't use ephemeral max_mixer_width and
MAX_HDISPLAY_SPLIT to validate requested modes. Instead use PP and DSC
buffer widths.

While on the DPU 8.x+ supports a max linewidth of 8960 for PINGPONG_0,
there is some additional logic that needs to be added to the resource
manager to specifically try and reserve PINGPONG_0 for modes that are
greater than 5k.

The layer-mixer count for a merge-capable, non-DSC mode is chosen by
dpu_crtc_num_lm_for_mode(); feed the PINGPONG/DSC derived width to it as
the split threshold in place of the removed MAX_HDISPLAY_SPLIT, so the
pixel-rate floor added earlier keeps high-refresh modes that now fit
within a single PINGPONG buffer split across two mixers.

[MP: rebased on msm-next; fed PINGPONG/DSC width into
dpu_crtc_num_lm_for_mode() instead of open-coding the width test]
